"Name please mam?" The artist asked for which ragini blinked when she doesn't know what to answer back to her.

"It's Laksh"

The mehndi artist smiled and started decorating ragini's hand with laksh's name while ragini and ashwin turned back to the direction from where the voice came.

"Laksh.." ragini looked at him with a shocking expression when he approached her and took a seat beside her in the cushion placed there, ashwin held his giggle when he found ragini's stunned expression.

"Wow, your design looks the best with my name in it sweetu." Laksh flirted publicly which angered riya when she overheard their conversation while crossing over them.

"Stop flirting with me mister." Ragini chided and turned her face away only to prevent laksh from seeing her blushing but instead got caught by ashwin.

Ashwin gave her a mischievous look and was about to tease her but ragini detected ashwin's intentions and she pleaded him through her eyes for which he gestured a yes to her and left from there.

"I am saying the truth sweetu, your design looks the bestest here, even the bride's design seems to be low infront of yours. If you are not believing me still, let me prove you right now." Laksh has something in his mind and wandered his eyes over the hall to find someone from the crowd, finally it got landed on riya who immediately took off her eyes from raglak to prevent him to find her staring them.

"Miss. Riya, could you please come over for a moment?" Laksh asked being so cute but he has some hidden intentions.

"Laksh, please no. Why are you calling her here? Please don't." Ragini pleaded to him trying to stop him.

"Why means what?? Just to prove you only." Laksh replied and turned to riya's direction again and found her not moving even an inch.

"Please Miss. Riya.." Laksh requested.

"Prove me what??" Ragini whispered worriedly.

"To prove that you are the best (he paused). Woah, i meant your mehndi design sweetheart." He managed to lie both ragini and also his own heart.

"I don't want you to prove anything. Don't create any issues here laksh." Ragini pleaded.

"Oh chill sweetu. I am just not doing anything wrong. I am trying to make someone jealous." Laksh winked and that's when ragini understood that laksh is calling riya just to make her feel the taste of jealousy.

She felt extremely bad for thinking that laksh is doing everything just to impress her and that feeling got dumped immediately when he said that he is doing everything intentionally to make riya jealous and nothing else at all.

"See my ragu's and decide which one's the best." Laksh grasped ragini's wrist and showed the design to the commoner who analysed both riya's and ragini's design and looked at excited laksh's face, she immediately announced that his girlfriend's design looks the prettiest.

Riya blushed hearing the old lady's words still in the imaginary world of being laksh's girlfriend.

Laksh proudly raised his collars and thanked the lady before letting her go away.

Ragini lifted her chin just to see the happy face of laksh and riya, she came into a conclusion that the lady voted for riya's design since she zoned out during their conversation.

Ragini convinced herself by thinking that "It's obvious that riya's design to be the best, after all she is the bride and her design should look prettiest than everyone."
